About the Mission

The Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations represents Israel to the United Nations and its affiliated organizations in New York. The Mission of Israel pursues Israel’s foreign policy objectives to promote peace, security, and international harmonization and development, amongst other important global issues. While the Permanent Mission of Israel is a small Mission, its work covers the wide spectrum of issues addressed at the United Nations.

In addition, the Mission of Israel supports the purposes and principles of the UN, namely, as the UN charter eloquently states, to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small. As such, the Mission of Israel actively engages at the United Nations on a wide range of security, human rights, humanitarian, social and economic development, and environment related issues.
